The stress, you guys, the STRESS!
So many things I can’t really blog about, either because the overwhelm/upset me too much or because my only free time with work, law school and two kids is in the 15 mins I take to wolf down lunch and read the news or check social media (and, of course, don’t want to blog from Continue reading →

Checkmate
Thanks to everyone who gave me reassurance and feedback that I’m not a crazy psycho. After sending my overkill e-mail, I sent another one the next morning apologizing for being rude but stating that since they had come back to the U.S., all of our interactions have been very stressful. I then tried to be Continue reading →

Overkill
After bailing on Baby J and me and going gambling for a week, my mother returns with the following text “I’m going to need your help cleaning my house for two hours tomorrow. We’ll talk tonight.” Um…. Yeah, so they are trying to sell their house. It has been on the market a week and Continue reading →

Anxious Child
Pumpkinhead freaked me out last night. He was on restriction from electronics due to a bad conduct card but he could still read books or draw. We have a house rule of no locked doors (except Mom & Dad’s… hehe ) and no closed kids’ doors during the day. Our biggest house rule, however, is Continue reading →

Refreshing Candor
David Mowry’s “Above the Law” column, House Rules, provides some direct and refreshing candor about work/life balance this week: “Law students start out underwater, and only get pushed under once they begin their first year of practice. If you are entering this career hoping to work equally hard at being an attorney as well as Continue reading →

Becoming Estranged
How do you make the decision to completely cut off your family? I have mentioned before that my parents recently moved back from overseas. Now my parents (and both sets of in-laws) live within spitting distance of us. This has been great as I try to finish school because they can all help with weekend Continue reading →

Electives and Babies
With the baby coming in late October and most of my classes going from late June through late March 2014 (followed by two months of capstone review), I am trying to decide whether to move 6 elective credits to spring semester to lighten up my fall load. The only scary part of that is that Continue reading →

Hormones and other fun
I’m 20+ days without wine (except a couple glasses of the de-alcoholized FRE crap – much better taste to the Chardonnay than the Merlot!). Have lost 10lbs. This is good but my cranky level is off the charts. Thank you, PG hormones! In addition to my fun hormones, Pumpkinhead was recently determined to have early-onset Continue reading →
